Black Deception

The author of this book apparently works in the medical field, and is a physician assistant, coincidentally, the protagonist. This is the first novel written by the author, and I would give a favorable review for taking on such a project. After getting past the first 30 pages of medical jargon, I appreciate the conflict the author builds between the antagonist (world renown surgeon), the nurses, other physician assistants, and the difficulty in making a decision of weather to expose the surgeon or keep the secret. I saw this more of a book on professional issues, rather than a medical thriller. It is a page turner.

Black Deception

The book starts out slow but after the first couple of chapters it gets more and more interesting and it's hard to put down. I got the feeling that I was reading from actual events that may have occurred in the author's own experiences in her profession as a physician's assistant, and that only the "names were changed to protect the innocent." The characters were faced with making very hard decisions and choices in their daily responsibilities as caregivers. From a patient's aspect, the content of this book has surely enlightened me to take more seriously the issue of my healthcare, especially with regard to surgical practices and procedures.
